WOW.. talk about eye candy. I really like the ones that are more “everyday use” sort of things. How cool would it be to open up your spice drawer and see ones like #33.. or go to change a light bulb like the Gauss packaging? I would have to think twice about throwing away those light bulb containers. Great post!

I sometimes find myself wondering if designers actually think about what they’re creating and why they’re doing the things they are. Personally I find some of these designs to be garish and almost obnoxious. All that aside though, the one I really have to wonder about is the FTD box. Is it supposed to resemble a casket? Because grandma dying isn’t exactly a major selling point for me.

The problem is, that some of these things I can’t really tell exactly what they are from the packaging. An important part of mechandise, especially in things that one could find in a grocery store is getting impulse buys. That’s not going to happen if people can’t instantly figure out exactly what you’re selling.

A Great Selection … some hot and others, well, not so. The Kleenex one is consistent while changing the graphics, though the Doritos one is one person’s use of a tough material being used in a gentle way. Feel It looks to be a winner in my book, great simplicity … good looks … tactile!
